We never seem to tire of gazing at the Mona Lisa, which has become the most famous painting in the world. Plans to move it to a new setting in the Salle des États in the spring of 2005 provided the perfect opportunity to benefit from new laboratory equipment and researchers’ heightened experience to gain a better understanding of the painting. This original approach to the Mona Lisa using scientific imaging methods made it possible to explore hidden aspects of the masterpiece.
Through pages abundantly illustrated with original photographs and graphic data, readers will discover the unique genius of this humanist painter-thinker, one of the greatest masters of the Renaissance.
